Previously on "NuWho episodes that make a lot more damn sense when you realize which classic serial they're ripping off": Utopia, Genesis of the Daleks, and Malcassairo as RTD's remix of Skaro. Now, Utopia comes off pretty badly once you set up the comparison--the Futurekind are dumb, dumb, dumb next to the Mutos, for example--but that's mostly because Genesis is fucking flawless. We're still dealing with some of Rusty's best work, which appears to be paying homage to some of the classic series' best work. What do you get when Rusty recycles a bunch of techniques from an ambitious but terribly flawed serial?
You get End of Time, that's what you get: an epic demonstration of just how spectacularly Logopolis could've failed.
